Changing the location and drive of the "Documents" folder

Hi all,
I would like to move my "Documents" folder to a drive other than the system boot drive. Is it possible to control the location of this special folder so that when I use the sidebar to click on "documents" it goes to my data drive instead of my OS drive?
thanks in advance!

Move your Users folder or the individual User account folders to a different drive to keep User files from competing with System files.
You can do this in 10.6 Snow leopard, one User at a time, without having to resort to CarbonCopyCloner or any Terminal commands, using this handy article:

The procedure is first, the explanation follows.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • EXIT after changing the document status to Parked and complete

    Yes the Workflow Background process completed successfully with no errors. I see the error when I query up the Sales Order go to menu --> Workflow Status -->

    The Activity History shows error in the Wait Function and the error message is 3001: Invalid command argument.?

  • Adobe Acrobat 7: Can not insert pages, changing the document: Not Allowed, but Security Method set t

    In Adobe 7, I need to add some pdf pages to the end of a document, but the insert pages (as well as all other items under Document> are greyed out.
    On the document properties\ Security> the document restrictions summary says "Changing the Document: Not Allowed", but the Security Method in the drop down above is set to "No Security"
    Thanks!

    If there are form fields, then whoever added them probably used the forms menu, not the Acrobat form fields. Thus the PDF was converted to Designer and you are out of luck. The FORMS button found in various places in Acrobat 7 and latter takes you to Designer, not the Acrobat form tools. The latter are located in the tools menu.

  • Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

    (Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
    We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
    Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
    \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
    Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:"  in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
    Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
    Thank you so much.
    Dana

    There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
    I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
    Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
    Good luck!

  • How to change the document type while creating a PO by ME59N

    Hi,
    I  have 2 groups of PR's, for group one the document type is picked as NB and PO is created and for the group 2 it should pick as XYZ and PO should be created using ME59N tcode.
    How to change the document type for group 2 in ME59N? Which user exists to use to change the document type while creating PO in ME59N? 
    Can any one suggest me.

    Hi,
    There a config area, where you can define default PO doc types for a particular Pr doc type. If you maintain the settings properly there, then your requirement can be fulfilled.
    SPRO->IMG->MM->Purchasing->Purchase requisation->Define doc types.
    This will serve your purpose.
    Thanks,

  • I accidentally deleted the documents folder from my hard drive. can I recover it?

    I accidentally deleted the documents folder (and its contents) from my ibook hard drive. Can I recover it?

    It takes a really expensive data recovery service to get back things that have been deleted.
    You could try Data Rescue 3, if you're desperate to get the documents back.
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    System Requirements:
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue_sysreq.php
    If you want to try this, stop using the iBook immediately, and wait until you get the recovery software because every time you save something to your hard drive (even if it's only a link in your browser history), you risk overwriting the files you deleted.

  • Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Nichelle,
    You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
    Insert > Shape > Rectangle
    In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
    In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
    Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
    Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
    Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
    Regards,

  • Can't seem to change the Document Properties Advanced Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
    You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.

  • Changing the Document Mode to IE9

    I exported my Captivate project for HTML5, and the project works on my MAC and PC, but when testing it on another co-workers computer using IE9, she was unable to play the project, index.html. When she opened index.html, this is the response she received in her browser,
    "The content you are trying to view is not supported in the current Document Mode of Internet Explorer. Change the Document Mode to Internet Explorer 9 Standards and try to view the content again.
    To change the Document Mode, press F12, click Document Mode: , and then select Internet Explorer 9 Standards."
    Is this something I can change in the CSS document within the project folder?
    Any advise would be helpful.

    IE9 is not all that HTML5 ready.  I would recommend you output for both HTML5 and HTM/SWF when you publish.  If you do, you should see a file called Multiscreen.html.  Ask your coworker to try that file instead.

  • How do I change the document name on my iPad after editing it?

    I have forms to fill multiple time for different projects!  On the iPad, I can not tell if they are different because I can't see the changes when saved to iBook or emailed. Do I have to wait until I'm at me PC, if yes the iPad and your app are useless!

    You can change the document name before editing it, using the Duplicate feature.  You can do this in the File Manager by going into ‘Edit’ mode, selecting the file, and choosing Duplicate option.
    Adobe Reader currently does not support saving a copy of a file after changes are made to it (and not yet saved in the original).  This is a feature we would consider for a future update.
    Thanks for your feedback.

  • Changing the document root in WLS 6.0 SP1

    Hello,
              I want to change the deployment folder of
              config/<domainName>/applications
              to another folder in our source tree. Is this possible? The reason we
              want to do this is because our root tree contains the java source code
              and web-related content in our configuration management system. It
              would seem very odd to map our web-related stuff to
              /WLS6.0sp1/config/<mydomain>/applications and everything else to the
              standard structure.
              In 5.1, setting the weblogic.httpd.documentRoot property does this.
              However, I understand that WLS 6.0 uses a classloader for the
              /applications directory. Can I use a system to property to notify WLS
              6.0 to look at a different directory instead?
              There seems to be error in docs related to this.
              http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60///////config_xml/properties.html
              Says DocumentRoot entry can be set in config.xml.
              But the entry is not found in DTD (config.dtd)
              http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60///////config_xml/config.html
              Thanks.

    Bahar,
              The docs you pointed out is absolutely right. There is no error in the
              document.
              If you want to change the document root make the following
              modifications in your config.xml as per the example here:
              <Application Deployed="true" Name="DefaultWebApp_myserver"
              Path="d:\docmain">
              <WebAppComponent Name="DefaultWebApp_myserver"
              Targets="myserver" URI="www"/>
              </Application>
              Where Your document root is : d:\docmain\www
              Make sure that you have web.xml under
              d:\docmain\www\WEB-INF
              Kumar.

  • I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

    I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

    There is no built in function to make this happen.
    Your options are:
    Upgrade the existing hard drive.
    Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
    Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.
